I wanted a simple and fast way to exchange small files, like Word-Documents, Pictures, URLs, etc. iChat and similar tools need much configuration and registering - I wanted a technique that would "just work".

I used to use Mac OS X' FileSharing and the DropBox, but I don't get notified, and I have to mount the other user's Home DropBox by hand. Additionally the number of logged in users on Mac OS X Client is limited. Since no tool existed for this purpose, I made my own (as usual).

Here are some key features of "Schick":
Rendezvous-enabled
No configuration necessary
Automatically fetches username and user image from your Macintosh Preferences / Address Book.

Requirements:
Rendezvous-enabled network, usually every standard Ethernet Network can handle Rendezvous (also known as Zeroconf).

What's New:
Fixed bug, where Schick crashed on transfer of 0-byte-files.
Fixed bug wich prevented Schick from transferring files from PPC- to Intel-Macs.
New Package-Installer
